Default Amazed it didn't blow up

Here are pics of my port side 225X Promax. Four of the six sleeves turned. My mechanic said he's never seen anything like it. He's seen one or two turned, but never four. He was amazed the motor didn't catch a ring a blow. Gotta give props to him (Fuller's Marine in Bayville, NJ). He went to bat for me and negotiated with Mercury. They gave me a brand new powerhead. Motor was a 2005.

Christian, I appreciate the compliments. I've made a few changes in the off season. Just getting it dialed in. Can't wait for the season to start. Gotta get a few hours on this new powerhead.
